Vector graphics

Vector graphics is the use of polygons to represent images in computer graphics. Vector graphics are based on vectors, which lead through locations called control points or nodes. Each of these points has a definite position on the x and y axes of the work plane and determines the direction of the path; further, each path may be assigned a stroke color, shape, curve, thickness, and fill.

Subsequent vector graphics systems, most of which iterated through dynamically modifiable stored lists of drawing instructions, include the IBM 2250, Imlac PDS-1, and DEC GT40. There was a home gaming system that used vector graphics called Vectrex as well as various arcade games like Asteroids, Space Wars and many cinematronics titles such as Rip-Off, and Tail Gunner using vector monitors. Storage scope displays, such as the Tektronix 4014, could display vector images but not modify them without first erasing the display.

Wet Roads Glisten

Listen ends again into the desert street,a strange kind of violenceAnd like a legend creeping down the alleyways,it waves a hand to silenceAll though we're not aware, there is a presence thereuntil we hear them teasingSpitting curses, verses from the sacred books of longforgotten reasonSilken suits, the clicks of heels,the midnight hour long decayedThe spirit moves till busker playstill he wishes he could never playedBut the street wise listenwhile the wet roads glistenDon’t know what you're missingI wouldn't carry you through this tonightBut the melody's here and the beats are all rightAnd though there's a risk from the street hood,In the mist of the rain we can feel goodAll though we're not aware,there is a presence there,until we see teasingStealing time in motor grime working like a lampthrough the vampire seasonHeaven, soothe, power versus dancers in to a grooveMoves through the inner sun with shinning proofYou’ve carried all the blessing you can seeThat you were getting what you fearLove lies close to all the hate you could've rearedBlue skies always under cloud that disappearsYou’ve died too, but wrong thing, hear the song bringproofUnder life's wing, many cycling truthA lover's fight, the blues patrol,she tries to keep the cash she madeOut on the streets since twilight,now she's wishing that she never stayedBut the street wise listenwhile the wet roads glistenDon’t know what you're missingBoys from the bar spilling outClimbs into the car without a shadow of a doubtBoys hit a drunk on the street,passenger screams as he flies from the seatLives in a tangle or worse,lift from the pipe of the night in a hearseLives in a gamble or more,a lift from the plain dayA lift from the plain dayAnd the truth will set you freeFrom the broken lamp lying at the corner of a memoryTreasures to be foundYes this is your town (x2)I guess this is your town
